Haryana: Two arrested in separate cyber fraud cases involving Rs 1.26 lakh in Faridabad

Faridabad, Nov 14 (UNI) Faridabad Police have arrested two people in separate cyber fraud cases in which residents were allegedly cheated of a total of Rs 1.26 lakh through a fake online cement dealer and an Instagram advertisement offering customised statues, officials said on Saturday.
In the first case, the NIT Cyber Police arrested a woman from Delhi for allegedly providing her bank account to fraudsters who cheated a Pali resident of Rs 93,000.
Police said the complainant wanted to purchase 300 bags of cement and contacted a purported dealer through a number obtained from Google on August 23.
The alleged dealer sent a payment QR code, following which the complainant transferred Rs 93,000 in multiple transactions. However, the cement was never delivered, and the dealer stopped responding to calls.
Investigators traced the money to the arrested woman's bank account. Police said she worked as a labourer and had allegedly allowed fraudsters to use her account. She was produced before a court and remanded to judicial custody.
In the second case, Ballabhgarh Cyber Police arrested Rohit, a Jaipur resident pursuing nursing studies, for allegedly facilitating a bank account used to cheat a woman of Rs 32,680.
The complainant, a resident of Vishnu Colony, had clicked a link attached to an Instagram reel advertising statue-making services on October 15.
She was subsequently contacted through WhatsApp and allegedly persuaded to transfer Rs 32,680 for the service.
Police earlier arrested the bank account holder, Raman Lal. During the investigation, they found that Rohit had allegedly obtained the account details through Shivam, a resident of his locality, and passed them to the fraudsters.
Rohit was produced before a court and sent to judicial custody. UNI KK SS
